Davido has been declared wanted by Gambia police for allegedly assaulting a celebrity photographer

Police in The Gambia has declared Nigerian singer Davido wanted for allegedly assaulting one of the most renowned celebrity photographers in that country.

The photographer identified as Kenny Egbuke, was reportedly brutalised for attempting to calm the nerves of the Davido during a confrontation with a female fan who took snaps of the Nigerian pop-star without ‘permission’.

The young female fan had approached Davido for a selfie while he was eating. The lady was said to have already taken a few pictures of him before going close to him.

This, according to reports, did not go down well with the singer, who turned her away, shouting in fury.

At this point, Egbuke, allegedly drew closer to talk down Davido to take it easy with the lady but the photographer’s advice seems to have further angered the singer who reportedly reached for a very thick and heavy cognac glass and threw it at Egbuke, injuring him on the head and lips.

Reports suggest that Davido also attempted to break a Hennessey bottle on the photographer’s head but his bouncers jumped in to save the situation. Davido was reported to have left the scene with his entourage moments later.

The violent attack on the photographer was subsequently reported at the Kololi Police Station where the police declared Davido wanted for the assault.

The musician has not yet commented on the reports making the rounds in the media.
